Leading digital travel platform Agoda has announced a strategic partnership with the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality group. This collaboration makes IHCL’s premium portfolio of properties, including Taj, SeleQtions, Vivanta, Ginger, and the newly launched Claridges Collection, accessible to Agoda’s global customer base.
The partnership encompasses 250 of IHCL’s operational properties, aligning with Agoda’s 20th-anniversary focus on enhancing customer choice, value, and partnerships in key travel markets. IHCL’s portfolio, ranging from heritage palaces to luxury urban retreats, will now reach Agoda’s growing international and regional user base, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
“IHCL is synonymous with excellence in hospitality, and this partnership reinforces Agoda’s commitment to working with the best,” said Omri Morgenshtern, CEO of Agoda. “Combining IHCL’s iconic offerings with Agoda’s tech-driven solutions allows us to deliver unique experiences to travelers globally.”
Puneet Chhatwal, MD & CEO of IHCL, added, “This alliance enhances our global reach and supports our strategy to expand to over 700 hotels by 2030. Agoda’s expertise in international markets and cutting-edge technology will amplify our customer engagement.”
As India’s hospitality sector is projected to grow to USD 542 billion by 2030, this collaboration positions Agoda and IHCL to meet the rising demand for culturally rich and luxurious travel experiences.
